AW: [Q] Wifi tethering problem on JJ's Hybrid Rom

It works on 3.2. The Update to 3.3b causes that problem. Also updating the busybox to the latest version causes this issue.

JJ's Rom is a hybrid between aosp and stock. That's why wifi tethering works...

I am currently running CM 10 and I want to switch roms but I am not sure how... I have 4EXT recovery and I'm not sure how to re-flash the rom.. Can someone help me?
[HTC Sensation] sepsep 21:
Put the ROM zip to SD card. Go to recovery and do a factory reset. Then select the ROM zip and flash it.
[HTC Sensation] Michael_Considine:
Thanks, so I don't have to do anything else like I did the first time round?
[HTC Sensation] sepsep 21:
You said you are running cm10 so its not the

first time that you change your rom. So you can flash the ROM without any problem.

But if your device is s-on you must flash

The rom with smartflash method. You can choose it in recovery. Sry for my bad English.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No.

Do not do a factory reset. This will just delete your user data. It will not delete the system data so if you try to install a new ROM overtop of an existing one that's different things could get messy. You want to do a full wipe, not just a factory reset.

The FIRST step is to make a backup of your currenr ROM. That way you can easily revert back to it as if you never left. This is valuable for many reasons. You may decide you don't like your new rom. Your new rom may have problems and not work properly and you'll want to go back to a working phone quickly. You may forget to back something up and will want to be able to extra some data from the backup (That's easy to do, but only if you have a backup). The list goes on and on.

Backing up your rom is super easy with 4EXT. You just tell it to back up your ROM and it will do the rest. It takes about 5 minutes.

Then you'll want to back up certain data that you'll want to use on your new ROM. Contacts, wifi access points, app data, text messages, etc etc etc. Whatever you want. Use Titanium Backup. It's super easy to use and works great. It will let you take all your apps and data off one ROM and put it onto another.

After you back up your rom, boot into recovery and do a full wipe using "format all partitions (except SD card)". The option is written exactly like that in the menu. You can't miss it. This will format the data and system files so you'll have a blank slate to install a new ROM from.

NOW flash the new rom. Then flash GApps if required. Boot the phone.

Download Titanium Backup from teh Play Store and use it to restore apps and data you want. (Your saves Titanium data will be ready to use when you install Titanium on the new ROM)

Enjoy your new ROM.
[HTC Sensation] alakaz0om:
CWM

Hello

ust to confirm, instead of using 4EXT im using CWM recovery. I have read that 4EXT and CWM actually does the same job(recovery) so using CWM does not affect the subsequent steps right? (ie using Titanium Backup to back up messages and contacts and doing a full wipe). it will be the same process just using different recovery tool right?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
In theory, yes. But some roms don't install properly from cwm and some absolutely require 4ext due to the use of aroma installer.

Just switch to 4ext. Takes 2 seconds to switch. The app doss all the work to install the recovery.
[HTC Sensation] sepsep 21:
In my opinion 4ext is better than cmw but cmw show the aroma installer and install everything. But 4ext is better at all.
[HTC Sensation] alakaz0om:
ah i see . alright i shall follow the changing cmw to 4ext recovery thread and change the recovery thingy. thank you all! :D
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You don't even have to do all that if you're willing to buy the $3 4EXT app.

The guide you'll find will have to flash 4EXT with a PM58IMG file in the bootloader. It's easy enough. But you'll lack the app that goes with it that lets you manage your backups, control the recovery module, and update the recovery quickly and easily when new versions are available.

Just buy the 4EXT app on the play store, then from within the app tell it to install the 4EXT recovery module and it'll install the recovery for you quickly and easily.

Plus you're giving $3 to a developer who made a REALLY fantastic recovery and app for you.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] willieboya:
Hi all, ive gave up on the slim chance that there might be a BT chip inside the kindle fire 2. With the release of custom ROMs on our device, is it now possible to get bluetooth working via otg cable? I have a micro BT usb an was wanting to use it for ps3 compatibility so i can play ps1 roms etc wirelessly. I know you can connect a 360 controller cablde to the kindle but imn looking for wireless connectivity.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] iytrix:
I wasn't going to answer because I'm not a dev....but was curious so looked up some stuff.

From what I can see....I can't find anyone doing that, ever. Yet I see a LOT of people saying "No, not possible unless you get a custom ROM" yet....I haven't found anyone that has actually done this!

Not sure why, although since we have devs I will be curious to see their response. No idea why I can't find a SINGLE post of anyone doing it, yet I also haven't seen anyone that has flat out said no, only that you will need a custom ROM.

If we do get it working, it would probably be one of the first times someone has done bluetooth via OTG. If you can find anyone that has done it before though, that may help out.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] jutley:
You can't really call it bluetoothe can you? if you use a wired soulotion it is a wireless protocol.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] fmkilo:
Just a usb bluetooth dongle. And, this is most likely never going to work on our device. We don't support usb host...
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] willieboya:
I seen on the kf1 forum that they have USB host to control a flash drive, Is it different to adding a BT adapter? Obviously you would need drivers for the specific BT adapter you were using

Not if u use a micro BT adapter an rip it apart and solder it to USB internally.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] fmkilo:
They use powered hubs... our device wouldn't power the dongle, and you might fry it if you tried to hard wire it into the battery

FMKilo @ forum.xda-developers

freenode irc #kf2-dev
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] willieboya:
well my plan was to buy a usb dongle, cheap ofcourse, put an external power supply, i.e 5v supply if i cant get one. for talking sakes lets say i use a battery ( i know voltage etc are not same as 5v supplied by normal usb ports) hook red + on battery, black to negative on the battery and add a switch so i can switch it on and off, so the only thing i would then need to take would be the data coming from the kindle itself. From what i can gather cm10 has bluetooth dongle support, if so then it would just be a case of an app looking at usb instead of internal bluetooth. Please correct me if i am wrong ( which i am pretty sure i am ). This is one feature which has let the kf2 down for me. All the others i can live with, even if i only had stock rom and it had bluettoth connectivity, it would be better for me. I hate having ideas but not being able to do anything about it so any advice, tips or reasons as to why it will not work is all good :)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] willieboya:
While im on, does anyone have a kf2 with custom rom, a powered usb hub, an otg cable, a bluetooth dongle and a spare ten mins to check if the dongle is recognised by the kf?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] dragodude:
Sorry to revive this, but I have a kindle fire 2, rooted with the official cyanogenmod jellybean. I'm later going to order a bluetooth dongle and I already have a powered hub. Being a college student I have a lot of spare time to this sorta thing. I'll check back later if there are replies or if i have done it and have results.

EDIT:

Although some people on this thread have already said that bluetooth doesn't work without a powered hub, you can find videos demonstrating it without a powered hub. I'll also test this later.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] default_user000:
Cm10 + otg + bt dongle = works!

I recently about an Onda V973 specifically so that I can load CM onto it but was disappointed that BT wasn't built-in. So I got an OTG cable and a cheap dongle. At first the connection didn't work but after a reboot CM was able to load the drivers for the dongle. Works great! :good:
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mr_verystock:
I am 99% sure Kindle Fire does not have a bluetooth chip. I tried it myself on CM10.2, 10.1, and it doesn't activate. The modem does not have this feature.

It would be interesting to try and mod the tablet that way, though.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isko95:
Can you tell me also which is the better between ics rom? and then jb rom?

And why the one is better than others?

Hope you can answer my questions...because i'm on minicm7 stable version, not nightly, and i'm thinking to update to a newer version.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rawwr:
well

as far as i know

there are only 2 ics roms available

one is minicm9 by naa

and

the other one is arcmini ics

both are very good

but the volume is too high

if u want xperia style ics u should go for arcmini

if u want a normal ics u can go for mini cm9

and coming to the jb

well

there are 3-4 roms i guess

slim roms

sevenbean pro

minicm 10

and

jb (dnt know the rom's name)

in jb

u will find bugs like

screen will not wakeup sometimes

low sound quality (40 percent of gingerbread)

the video recorder lags

low ram bug

and dual touch bug

if u want it for daily use u can go for jb

and if u r looking for gaming

sorry bro

u r searching for something wrong

stick to ginger bread :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
Absolutely correct what you just said. The only thing i didn't agree is about the volume being high on ics, i tested arc mini ics4 and then i tested a ginger rom and then the stock rom, they all had the same volume and quality, so that means that those ics roms are very good in sound volume and quality. However i must agree that gingeroms are the best, the most fast, most smooth, most stable roms that are available, so i don't advise you isko95 to try ics or jb roms if you want great performance and great quality, stick to ginger they are the best.

Best rom? Gingersony, then Ac Mini Nxt6, then Stark v3, then Digdin Rom 1.8. I just realised that prime hd is worse than those roms i mentioned.

If i help press thanks :).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isko95:
which android version is better between ics and jb, and why (which are the complete list of bugs)??

because i only use apps (facebook, instagram, etc.) and i don't play games, most of the time i listen to music and at least i want working basic things (soft and hard keyboard, camera, video, panorama, etc):D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rawwr:
well

ics roms are only 2 of them

i suggest u to go for arcmini ics

and

about jb

go for slim roms :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isko95:
on arcmini ics, are the apps working well (without FC or lags, especially hw keyboard and camera)?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rawwr:
well

if u use normal apps

they wont force close

u got to clean the memory most of the time

( u gotta do this on jb and ics )

and about the camera

u can take pics

but

the video is very laggy ( prob in ics and jb roms )

about the keyboard

u gotta set it up

when u boot the rom 1st
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
it's like i say, ics and jb roms are not ready for day to day use yet, very slow and if you want it faster by changing to above 600mhz max then you'll have more battery drain. You listen to music? then jb is not for you, buggy LOW sound. Ics has very good sound just like stock rom. The other apss and stuff are just bad in performance but i think they work. honestly, stay Ginger, it's the better choice if you want speed performance and quality.

press thanks if i helped :).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isko95:
so can you make the classification of all the gingerbread rom from the best first?:o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
Sure :). The best for games battery etc is Arc Mini NXT 6, but i advise you to remove some apps from root explorer because some of them have force close. The second best is Gingersony v6, you just have to install a led fix and it's all good, and remove the youtube app that has force closes, this is the only rom that automatically saves the Effect Rendering Option, and good battery life and very stable and fast. Third place goes to Stark v3, only the walkman player doesn't work but has good battery life and good performance. I'm using Gingersony just because i don't like the colors of the sms app in Arc Mini Nxt 6 ( the best rom ) xD. I also advise for better battery and remain the performance: 480mhz max/19mhz min, compcache disabled, card cache 4096kb, disable boot animation and disable animation effects, reduce the brightness, use 2g networks and gsm.

If i helped you, press thanks :).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isko95:
Now that there's gingerdx v30? Is arcmini 6 still the best?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rawwr:
yes it is

there aren't pretty much changes made in gdx v30
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isko95:
Which are the little changes? Can you tell me its bugs? Also minor ones?:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rawwr:
bugs ?

idk

haven't tried v30 yet

but looking at the changelog,

i dont wanna install it now,

cuz only apps are updated.

( if u wanna see the changelog, u can go to gdx v30 threas)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AerodynamicTrunks:
So, there comes a time in each man's life when he wants to create something of his own. What it sounds like you want to do is add mods and themes to an existing ROM. This is called winzipping. If you do it right, people will try to buy you a phone. But be warned: it is unethical to lie about your sources, and under the GPL your source must be made available so we _will_ know. That said, the source is all available.

You can probably start at xda-university.com

Take a stock base rom, and edit away. Learn how to use apktool and 7zip
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lanlee212:

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElZeck:
Hey guys,

I got a little problem here and would appreciate any help. As you might have guessed from the title I have an Optimus One here that won't boot. It is stuck on LG logo screen. The phone is not mine but my father-in-law's and I told him I would have a look since his warranty is already void. He told me that he turned it off because it was gettin really slow (and he does that from time to time to clear memory) and as he wanted to turn it on again, it was stuck on LG logo. And has been since. I can still access emergency mode though, but that's it!

Now, I know that there are a lot of threads that treat this problem but in every one of these threads people solve the problem by flashing a stock ROM via KDZ. And that doesn't work for me. It just won't go through with the whole process. I'm flashing in emergency mode and always at some point you hear the sound indicating that a USB device has been unplugged and it starts to boot (I don't know if it is supposed to cause I've never had one of these phones in my hand that was working properly, only this broken one) but obviously gets stuck at LG logo. After a while I get an error from KDZ and thats it.

I also tried with LGMDP, which didn't work either. And obviously I tried a hard-reset, which didn't do anything.

I really don't know what to do with that stupid thing. But I am 100% convinced that it can be revived because emergency mode is still accessable.

Can any of you guys help me? Would be much appreciated!!

Cheers

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetnsour:
@ElZeck, when you are flashing with KDZ, what is the error that you get? Also, what is the operating system on your computer? I think I had trouble using KDZ on Windows 7/8, but Windows XP worked just fine. Maybe you might want to try using KDZ on a different computer.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElZeck:
Hey guys, thanks for your replies!

@Kill4File: How do you flash CWM with KDZ? I tried with LGMDP but I wouldn't know what file I would need to do so with KDZ. Can you supply the file?

@sweetnsour: I don't recall the error exactly. I know it ran through parameters until 100 twice and then it got stuck at sth. like wPrm 8. That sound familiar to you? OS is Windows 7.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAndroidGeek:
Just download a recovery like cwm or twrp, then extract the .img file and flash that through lgmdp.

Edit : if you start your phone what happens?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElZeck:

Did you boot into recovery by pressing home +volume down +power?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetnsour:
I remember my friend bricking his LG Mytouch, so I tried to help him out with KDZ. I believe you got a similar error (and he was also using Windows 7). I think looking for a different computer to use KDZ on might be the key, especially if you find a Windows XP computer. Basically Windows 7 caused trouble for my friend and me, and Windows 8 wasn't any better. My old XP desktop got the job done though.

This is what I do when I use KDZ (don't miss the words in bold):

1. Manually boot your phone into emergency mode, with emphasis on manually. To do so, hold Back + Vol Up + Power.

2. Plug the cable into the computer first, and then the other end into the phone, in that order. I know some people are used to plugging the cable into the phone first and then into the computer, but sometimes (at least when the phone is normally booted) the computer doesn't detect the phone.

2a. Just making sure, I assume that since your computer at least began the KDZ flash, you already have the drivers for your phone. If you do decide to try it on a different computer, remember to install the drivers (reasons on why I use Windows XP in the next step). Also, don't forget to disable the LGE Modem in Device Manager.

3. Open KDZ. I don't know why KDZ causes issues for me on Windows 7/8, but on those two operating systems, I get some sort of "compatibility issues." Also, KDZ likes to crash in the middle of a flash. Never had any of those issue in Windows XP (no crashes, and I believe KDZ was built for XP anyway since there aren't any compatibility issues).

4. Make sure you have it set to 3GQCT and DIAG. (If KDZ fails to flash, try the different options under PHONEMODE and also try shaking your phone during the flashing process). Browse to your KDZ file.

5. Begin the flashing process. No matter what happens on your phone (it reboots, makes noises, etc) don't remove the cable until KDZ reads "FINISHED".

6. If the phone fails to boot properly (stuck on bootanimation even though it flashed properly), yank the battery, and hold Home + Vol Down + Power. This will begin a hard reset.

If this is what you've been doing on Windows 7 and it still fails, I highly recommend using Windows XP.

Hopefully that helps :)

Unfortunately, I can't! Only emergency mode is accessable. Anything else (recovery, hard reset,...) leads to LG logo screen.
